Ungava is a very interesting gin from Canada and is named after the Ungava Peninsula, at the northern tip of Quebec. It's made from an infusion of six arctic botanical, ranging from the straightforward wild Rosehips to more exotic botanicals - Nordic Juniper, Arctic Blend, Cloudberry, Crowberry and Labrador Tea (and it’s the gin that’s yellow not the bottle).

This gin totally split us all here al J&P - some of us loved it, some didn't. We served it on the rocks with grapefruit as recommended - and we’re damned if we can describe it clearly! On the nose you do get the juniper but its accompanied by a background which was variously described as sweetly grass, floral or citrus lemon. It's actually not as out there as you expect form the colour. To taste, the core is still juniper but there's a lovely summer berries flavour with some more of that sweet grass and some spice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a unique gin, works really well in martinis and negronis. Serve it with grapefruit or lemon or go wild and fill up the glass with a whole heap of fruit - it can take it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All in all it’s a gin that some will like and some won’t - and you’ll definitely be arguing long into the night as to exactly what it tastes of. But also definitely one worth trying (ideally before buying!). We’re certainly going back for more.

¿Ya le habéis escrito la carta a los Reyes Magos? Yo me enamoré hace unas semanas del impresionante reloj #Tango de @raymondweil con 44 #diamantes. ¿Habré sido lo suficientemente buena?
Have you already written the letter to the Three Kings? A few weeks ago, I felt in love with the #Tango watch of 44 #diamonds from @raymondweil. Have I been good enough?
